Welcome to my humble blog or you can say in Indonesian-Selamat datang. Or hoşgeldiniz in Türkçe.

Spent my years in my homeland Indonesia. And now marrying a wonderful Turkish man and staying in Bursa-Turkey since 2009. A mom from one very cute girl. Simple yet open minded in person. Love to cook since I was a kid in my beloved Surabaya city. Spent some years in Jakarta for my previous academic career as Quality Control asstn manager.

Enjoying city walk and travelling, food adventurer, small crafting projects and writing (fiction in my younger age). Now my blog is my favorite place to express my devotion of writing- mostly now about foods I serve for my mix culture family and small project for my kid and my personal hobby.I started this page since 2010.
